Apple Watch Series 5 Pre-Order Thread (US)

Have the same email this morning, see mine.

Trying to reach someone to see if they have another model/band combination in stock at the store, it's really hard to reach someone!

40 mm alu, sports loop, gps only, Quebec City, Canada for me!

I went to my Apple Store, apparently FedEx somehow misplaced an entire shipment of Watches? They only had 4 models in stock, and two of those were stainless steel.

The Best Buy half a kilometre up the road had a silver 44 mm/aluminum/cellular in stock like I ordered, albeit with a white band. I bought it. I actually really like the white band!

Will probably return the one I ordered through Apple, depends on if I like the new blue colour more than white.

Just happy I have a watch for my trip to your lovely country this week. Off to Banff!

Where is your watch currently? I have a Wednesday delivery date as well from UPS. MY latest scan was an arrival scan in Anchorage; of all the screenshots I’ve seen, people’s packages didn’t spend more than a few hours before getting the departure scan there, but mine just seems to be sitting. Provided it does depart soon for Louisville, I really don’t see how it would take until Wednesday to be delivered if it’s constantly moving...

Just finished playing move-the-phone-numbers-around on my new 5, my old 4 (going to my daughter) and my daughter’s old 3 (going to BFF). All is well.

I went to Apple Store to see if they could sell me another model other than the one I ordered... to see NOTHING on the tables. Empty tables. No iPhones 11 or Pro at all! No watches, nothing. FedEx delayed the entire shipment of new products for my store! When I arrived at 1:30pm, they said the truck was arriving. I recieved a sms at 4:30pm saying that my watch was ready! So I got it, just later finally! At 4:30pm, they were starting to install some 11 and 11 Pro! The customers weren't happy, but it's 100% not their fault. They were probably told to look happy and understand the customers, I would not work for Apple, especially on launch days, even more when an entire store shipment is late!

I am still waiting for a SS SB but from At&a. My delivery window was from 7th-14th :( no movement yet.

I was going to order it but didn't trust that AT&T would get it delivered on time.. So I walked down to the AT&T store , waited about an hour and left the store with the watch I wanted (40mm aluminum). Was considering stainless steel but they said they would need to order that...

Perhaps you could try a store and cancel the other one?
 
I picked up my watch at the Apple store on Friday. Then went home to wait for UPS to deliver our 2 phones. Only 1 arrived. My phone never made it. Supposed to be delivered on Monday, but I had to change it to pick up due to scheduling issues. Really annoyed with UPS since the told me the phone was out for delivery and I would definitely have it on Friday. I do really like the new watch though. I upgraded from a SS 3.

I didn't preorder, but I did order an Apple Watch S5 yesterday, so I thought this was the best place to post this. Amazon has the 44mm $15 off and I was able to get it delivered vs having to drive 20-30 min to an Apple Store, and waste the time and gas to do that and deal with the crowds there. I got 1% back on Apple Card too, which is nice. It's supposed to be arriving today, and I'm excited.
 
my package has been in Kentucky for 2 days. i feel they honestly hold the packages so they come around the time apple says 🤥

mine is in KY showing delivery for Wednesday. Was hoping for the original estimate of Tuesday. If they weren't holding on to it over the weekend definitely would've been possible
 
I'm seeing the same delivery date of Wednesday. I was so excited to see it land in KY at 1:24 AM early Friday morning , as it felt like it was almost here. It's been agony watching it taking a mini vacation in Louisville.

Same boat with my ceramic. Went from China to Anchorage to Louisville in a day and now it’s been sitting there since Saturday. Apple and UPS both say Thursday delivery, but ideally it should have been here today.

Mine looks to be out for delivery today, though it was also out for delivery on Saturday but UPS decided not to deliver it.
 
Anyone's watch still stuck in Louisville since Friday night? I was hoping mine would start moving early today and get delivered today night or tomorrow :D
